Woody McClain, the actor from Power Book II: Ghost, recently experienced a happy occasion as he and partner and model Charli B are expecting twin daughters later this year. In anticipation of the twins’ arrival in November, the couple held a baby shower on June 28 in Atlanta and invited family and friends to join them in an intimate gathering of acceptance before the twins are born.
McClain, 36 years old, said their baby shower was an emotional and wonderful day. "It was amazing," he said. "It reminded us how powerful our village is." Surrounded by friends and family, until we get to the twins mпиЦактор well as the journey of being first-time parents.
The couple shared they were having a baby back in April, using a playful announcement about expecting a baby girl that was made on April Fool’s Day. The timing may have confused some initially, but the excitement was very REAL! Now, just months away from welcoming daughters Emily and Amaya, McClain is settling into the reality of becoming a father.
The baby shower was hosted in a “bows and butterflies” theme that created levity and color to the day. Charli B contributed tremendously to planning the event, and worked closely with vendors to create a warm atmosphere that felt “just right.” Guests enjoyed themed food, decor, and several personal touches that made the experience fun yet personal!
One of the showstoppers for McClain was the surprise photo booth gifted to him by one of his cousins. It allowed guests the ability to take a quick and fun picture of their memories from the day and it quickly became one of the most popular parts of the day! Another memorable moment was during a game called "nursery karaoke" where guests had to sing lullaby and nursery rhymes. McClain said he thought this was also unexpectedly hilarious and one of the most fun parts of the day.
Now, just a few months out, McClain says he is looking forward to all the responsibilities being a dad entails. Buying baby products and sleeping less is not an issue for him. "I'm not just preparing to be a dad," he said. "I'm preparing to grow with them, to be present for every stage."
He also mentioned the gratefulness he has for being able to share that moment with Charli B and to have support from family and friends as they start this new journey. To both parents, the baby shower was more than celebration; it was a moment of being reminded of the community that they will surround their daughters with from the very beginning.
